The band has brought a new twist in their cover by slowing the song down in the chorus, in contrast to the original version. This change has brought the spooky undercurrent in the song to the forefront. And, in their own way, the Afghan Whigs have infused the song with their brand of dark sensuality.

The track was recorded during the sessions for the band’s album, Do to the Beast, out now via Sub Pop. “Do to the Beast locks into the rhythm and soul undercarriage that always set the Whigs apart from its alt-rock-era brethren, and then turns off the lights, turns up the guitars and revels in the unsavory,” according to a Los Angeles Times article.

And, if you like what you’re hearing, be sure to catch the band on tour this fall.
